Beyond the OR: Leadership Skills for the Modern Anesthesiologist

Dr. Michael Lewis, Prof. Idit Matot

​

Leadership in anesthesiology has always demanded more than clinical excellence.

This workshop takes a hard look at what it actually means to lead in the OR, across institutions, and within the broader profession.

We will draw on the values that define who we are as anesthesiologists (patient safety, integrity, collaboration, innovation, and cultural competence) to explore practical strategies for leading teams, influencing change, and advancing the field.

Expect honest conversation, real-world frameworks, and perspectives that travel across borders and practice settings.
